ST CHARLES - Repairs to the Interstate 70 bridge over Earth City Expressway will impact traffic two weekends in June and one in July, weather permitting. On each of the three weekends, two lanes will be closed on I-70 and various ramps will be closed. The lanes that remain open will be narrowed and the speed limit will be reduced.
